Chapter 1898 Rocky's Plan Worked

"Take you away? Why?" Rocky was quite taken aback upon hearing her sudden request.

"What are you talking about? We are engaged! Why can't I be with you?" Gloria immediately reminded.

"I can tear that engagement covenant anytime, you know?" Rocky was still keeping the covenant, and if he destroyed it, the only proof of their engagement would be dissolved.

"No! Why would you do that? Look! I am determined to be with you. In fact, the sole reason why I am trying to cultivate so hard is to improve myself so that I can be of use to you," Gloria said with unwavering resolve.

"Can I just ask you? Why are you willing to make such a sacrifice for me?" Rocky could only sigh. When he was with Valeria, he also could not deal with her honesty. Now, another woman was openly professing her feelings to him.

"Why are you so dense? You are my man, and I will never let you go! It's that simple!" Gloria declared with a straight face.

A few days eventually passed, and a guard suddenly came to Gilbert's mansion to deliver an invitation.

"Sir, the royal family is asking you and the two Godly Geniuses to attend the Beast-fighting Festival. The invitation says that it will be held in three days," the guard said after handing the invitation over.

"I see. You may now leave." After taking a look at the invitation, Gilbert ordered one of his men to summon both Rocky and Valeria.

Once they came, Gilbert showed the invitation to them.

"What is with this festival? Is it something grand?" Rocky asked, not having a clue.

"Yes, it is. In fact, this is the most ancient festival since the Shura Race was established. Back then, the Shura Race was not yet favored by the deities. So, in order to survive in the Shura Continent, our ancestors fought all kinds of diabolic beasts and spiritual beasts with their bare hands and hand-crafted weapons. Later on, as you know, the Shura Race became the chosen race by the deities. But in order not to forget where they have begun, our ancestors started celebrating this festival," Gilbert explained in detail.
